first, let me say, i think susan rice has done an effective job as u.n. ambassador especially on north korea, but on this she was wrong. if she is sent out to speak to the american people on what happened in benghazi, she is obligated to do more than look at three sentences of unclassified or five sentences of unclassified talking points. that was basically a cover story. she had access to all of the sensitive top secret classified information. and she knew that the story she was giving out was not entirely true. she knew that parts had been taken out, for whatever reason, which we still haven't found out. i think that she should have been much more modulated in what she said. she gave the clear impression that we thought it came from the demonstration, and the video, and that is not the case. she certainly toned down almost minimized the issue of the terrorist threat. if there was any security reasons for doing that, she should not have emphasized it as much as she did about the video and the demonstration. it sent the wrong message to the question. >> d
